WHIP-HOLDER.

HSPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 289,310, dated November 27, 188?.

' Application filed November 13, IESE. (No model.)

I do hereby declare that the following is a full, 1

` clear, and exact description thereof, reference moved.

` their peripheries,

beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and

to the letters of reference marked thereon, p

making a part of this specification.

My invention relates to whip-holders, and it consists in the improved construction hereinafter fully described, whereby awhip-l1older is produced that has many advantages over holders heretofore constructed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure lis a side elevation, showing my improved whip-holder applied to the section of a dash-rail. Fig. 2

represents a side view of the improved locking device used in connection with the whipholder, the side casing ofthe said lock being re- Fig. 3 is a section ou the line i/ 1/ of Fig. l. y p

S S represent the two sections forming the `whipfsocket proper, pivoted together at their center, as shown in Fig. l. The section S, nearest the daslrrail, is provided with perforated ears a a, through which pass the threaded ends of screws N N, which, in connection with the clamp-plates G G, secure the pivotcd sections S S to the side rail,R, of the dash. A ring section, A, has an extension provided with `receive the threaded ends of screws N of the upper clamp-plate, G. Two camsections, C C, are arranged inside the ringsection A, as seen in Fig. 3, Wthe ends b b of said cam-sections resting in bearingstherefor formed in the upper side of the ring-section A. The ends btb project through the side of the ring-section A, and carry rigidly on their extremities disks E E, which are toothed for a portion of as seen in Fig. 2, the said teeth meshing with each other. The end b of the cam-section C projects through the other side of the casing, and is formed square at its p extremity to receive a key-lever, F. An npi face of the section A.

per ring-section, A', rests upon the ring-sec tion A, and maintains the cam-sections C Cin proper position in their bearings in the upper The side of the ringin engagement with the perforations in its end facefto f section A on which the disks E E are located is extended, tis'shown in Fig. 3, to permit the application of a cap, B, having secured to its inner side a pawl, I, pivoted upon a stud, J', and engaging the teeth of the disk E, as shown in Fig.l 2. A leaf-spring, H, secured ona stud, J, attached to the cap B', has one upper face of the pawl I, to maintain said pawl disk E. A perfora tion, M, formed in .the cap below the pawl, permits the insertion of a key or other device, to effect the raising of the pawl out of engagement with the teeth.

The operation of the device is as follows: The .whip being inserted between the cam-sections C C', down into the socket formed by the pivoted sections S S', the lever F is moved so as to cause the cam-section C to revolve in its bearings, and resulting in the cam portion thereof moving toward and in contact with the whip-handle, the said rotation of the cam-sec` tion C causing the section C,geared thereto,to also move up and in contact with the other side of the whip-handle. The teeth on the disks E E are so arranged with respect to the pawl that the previous movements of the camsections will not beinterfered with by the pawl I b'ut any reverse movement, however, ofsaid cam-sections is rigidly prevented by said pawl, and can only be effected by inserting a key or pin through the opening M and raising the pawl, as hereinbefore described. v

From the foregoing it will be apparent that a whip-holding device constructed in accordance with my invention is easily secured in position, of simple construction, and effective in operation.

I am aware that whip-holding devices have said cam'sections, substantially as set forth. 2. The combination, in a whip-holding deend extending around and bearing upon the beenconstructed with cam-sections geared toi approach or recession of vice, of a ring-section7 A, a clamp for adjustably securing the same to the side of the dashrail, two earn-sections having` bearings in said ring-section, and disks E E', rigidly mounted on the ends of the said camseetions outside of said ring-section, and geared together as described, a cap engaging the end of the ring'- seotion covering the disks7 and provided with l a spring-pawl engaging one of the disks, and

a perforation, substantially as set forth. 1o

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 10th day of November, 1882.
